Being weak isn’t just about a certain level of strength. About not having big muscles, like Arnold Schwarzenegger, or NFL football players. And it’s not about combat, like a tough UFC fighter, or a competitive collegiate wrestler.

A lesson you learn working in a chiropractic office is that people are motivated by pain.

You have likely experienced this yourself.

A problem arises, seems relatively minor, and gets no attention – until it gets worse, and worse, and worse, and DEMANDS your ATTENTION with PAIN.

Chiropractic is about bringing “more” into your life.

The challenge is that these days it can be hard to bring more into your life…

Without it breaking you down.

And so is (nearly) everyone else.

Between television, phone screen time, coding workshops, and wired school classrooms, many kids today are growing up sedentary.

While at the same time, research has shown that we understand more than ever the benefits of movement for children’s development

Author Jocko Willink has a famous phrase:

“Good.”

The hardened Navy SEAL instructor and leadership professional uses a tough message when people have problems. Even in his children’s books.

Having trouble at school? “Good.”

One of the most challenging things in your body when you are feeling it struggle – are the emotions attached.

One of those feelings is the feeling of being STUCK.

Like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. The same day, over and over again.

One of the hottest topics for readers today is the idea of finding your purpose.

Purpose being some idea or mission that you feel compelled to pursue, with passion and constant unending desire. It’s often described as a never-ending inner fire to pursue and accomplish something.

What’s missing from one of chiropractic’s most famous charts?

Many chiropractors have a great chart, that shows a graph of “health” over time. And it depicts two lines, of two different possibilities. One being a steadily ascending line going upwards as the chart progresses to the right (albeit, with ups and downs on the way up).

BJ Palmer, the developer of chiropractic, said “The power that made the body heals the body.”

Chiropractors often phrase this “there is a power in your body that is responsible for the healing inside you.” Perhaps that is wrong. Perhaps there isn’t a power inside you.

The healing process involves a lot of steps. Making calls, setting appointments, getting help. You can probably remember yourself at that point or can think of a friend or loved one facing it now. Next, there is finding out what is the problem (and what caused it), and what you need to change to get better.
